Whenever Christ calls us, His call leads us to death.

Wherever there are sinners, the weak, the sorrowful, the poor in the world, that is where God goes.

Just as our love for God begins with listening to God's Word, the beginning of love for other Christians is learning to listen to them.

The Christian must treat his enemy as a brother, and requite his hostility with love. His behavior must be determined not by the way others treat him, but by the treatment he himself receives from Jesus; it has only one source, and that is the will of Jesus.

The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.

I believe that God both wills and is able to bring good out of everything, even the worst... I believe that even our mistakes and wrongdoing are not fruitless.

The heart clings to collected treasure. Stored-up possessions get between me and God. Where my treasure is, there is my trust, my security, my comfort, my God. Treasure means idolatry.
